About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I am now wanting to travel on my own after years of travel experience with family and school.
I want to meet the locals of the places I go to and immerse myself in their culture. I want make friends around the world, creating experiences and sharing stories.
I want to meet other world travelers to help each other and learn from each other.

Interests

I love cultural and traditional folk types of music, but I also love electronic music, and ambient music.

History! I love learning the history of any place I visit in the world, all of it, current events, recent history, renaissance history, medieval history, ancient history, it's all interesting to me.

Folklore! One of my favorite things to learn about places I visit is the folklore and mythology of the area, I love stories.

Languages! I have not learned even a second language yet, but I would really like to at-least learn conversational levels of many languages.

Writing! I love to write and would to share my writing with anyone interested. I mostly write dark abstract fiction and poetry, but I write other forms of writing as well.

Cross Country Skiing! I have not done this yet, but I would absolutely love to! Especially overnight camping style cross country ski trips.

Spelunking! I haven't done this in a while, but I have done it, I do love it very much! and there are so many interesting cave locations to explore!

Hiking! I have hiked one 14er in my experience hiking, and I have hiked many other altitudes of hikes as well.

Backpacking! I have gone on three backpacking trips so far, and I really enjoy it.

Nature! I just love being in nature in general, and I would love opportunities to immerse myself in the unique areas of nature all over the world and hopefully help with environmental issues around the world if I can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One recent thing I can think of that really sticks out in my travel memories: In summer of 2016 I was in Iceland for an overnight layover, and I hiked to natural hot-spring rivers with a couple of friends. On our way back down the trail we spent a few hours to help successfully re-unite a couple of lost and separated drunken Polish travelers.
